It seems a lot of people, Catholic and not, have their panties in a wad over Donald Trump posting an AI pic of himself as the Pope.
The same people who dismissed the pics of Kilmar Abrego Garcia's tattoos as 'photoshopped' are acting like President Trump has stormed the Vatican and declared himself head of the Holy See.
Now, perpetual scold Bill Kristol is asking Vice President J.D. Vance -- a Catholic convert (like this writer) if he's 'fine' with this 'disrespect' of the Holy Father.
Hey, @JDVance, you fine with this disrespect and mocking of the Holy Father? https://t.co/xbPs1hf5Gn

For starters, there is no pope right now.
There currently is no Holy Father...

As we said.
There is no Holy Father to 'mock' or 'disrespect.'
I'd rather a joke than a Catholic president who serves Moloch
— Kyle Beckley (@Kyle_Beckley) May 3, 2025
Amen.
“Disrespect” like what some people did to Jesus Christ?

Like Biden declaring Easter -- the holiest of Catholic holidays -- a 'trans day of visibility', right?
I remember when the supposedly devout Catholic President crossed himself at a pro-abortion rally. Have a seat, Bill. pic.twitter.com/LGiTif5Ep5

Biden loved abortion.
But 'devout Catholic' or something.
What Holy Father, specifically, is being mocked and disrespected?

Name him.
Lighten up, Billy.

You’re familiar with humor, right?
He is not.
FFS. It's a joke, like the one you see in the mirror every day.

BOOM.
Humorless scolds who demand you be as insincerely outraged as they are. https://t.co/Nvq4iVXnGP

They're really trying.
So it's ok for a man to wear a dress but a man can't dress as the Pope? https://t.co/1EUOY6GKvG

In Bill's upside down world, yes.
Why are all the Communist atheists suddenly worried about Catholics feelings now? I can’t put my finger on it… https://t.co/3IstkJ17ev pic.twitter.com/mDZGbVzLux

It's so weird.
Bill really cares about Catholicism now. What a change of heart! https://t.co/0YjKs2HT1h

It's a miracle!
I imagine whoever is chosen as our Holy Father, he can take a joke, Bill. https://t.co/ROsE3ymQXc

Oh, and this little factoid: Donald Trump will never be Pope.
So Bill needs to relax.
And J.D. Vance responded, as only he can:
As a general rule, I'm fine with people telling jokes and not fine with people starting stupid wars that kill thousands of my countrymen. https://t.co/2WQPsofVIH

Get wrecked, Bill.
